Orbit Logic is a world leader in satellite mission planning systems with over 200 deployed software installations, now in it's 10th year. Orbit Logic is a U.S. owned SBA-registered small business with its primary office located in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Orbit Logic provides mission planning and operations scheduling capabilities to the aerospace and geo-intelligence communities. Since its founding, Orbit Logic has developed extensive expertise in designing, developing, and implementing scheduling and collection planning solutions through its STK/Scheduler™ and Collection Planning System software. The experience and expertise gained from Orbit Logic's well known scheduling software led to the design of the UAV Planner product released in 2009.

STK/Scheduler™ is a broad-based schedule optimization solution for spacecraft operations that is tightly integrated with AGI's Satellite Tool Kit. Introduced in 2002 and with over 130 deployed licenses supporting NASA, DoD, national intelligence, and international space programs, STK/Scheduler has become the space industry standard for COTS scheduling software. The May 2009 release of STK/Scheduler version 9 adds millisecond scheduling fidelity, windows service runtime options, as well as a configurable custom algorithm support to the rich and proven STK/Scheduler feature set.

Orbit Logic has successfully deployed its Collection Planning System (CPS) software on multiple imaging satellite programs. Our CPS software is the most advanced commercial software of its kind available and optimizes the return from these high value on-orbit assets. Seamlessly integrating sophisticated de-confliction algorithms with a high-fidelity spacecraft simulator, each system produces optimized collections plans based upon vehicle constraints, spacecraft control system behavior, and target collection constraints within minutes. Orbit Logic's CPS software also provides operationally-proven automated contact scheduling, recorder management, downlink planning, and lights-out automation features. Orbit Logic has provided CPS solutions to GeoEye and DigitalGlobe and MacDonald Dettwiler for the QuickBird-2, OrbView-3, GeoEye-1, WorldView-1, and WorldView-2 spacecraft . . . all of the world's highest resolution and most agile commercial imaging satellites.

UAV Planner is a new advanced planning and scheduling application from Orbit Logic that provides optimized task scheduling and resource allocation for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's). UAV Planner allows operators, designers and engineers to model their UAV systems and perform operational scheduling and analysis - in a COTS solution. UAV Planner provides new route planning algorithms and planning maps and animation in Google Earth.

Orbit Logic backs its software products and solutions with expert engineering support, experience in satellite operations, and the responsiveness and innovation that only a local small company can provide. We have routinely turned around critical new features within days and even hours as part of our ongoing support for our deployed operational systems.
